Why do I spend so much time making a decision about what to wear? Learn how to organise your wardrobe in such a way that you can dress without stress, in 6 steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My first attempt to change to \u2018dress without stress\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Me a few years ago: Spend every morning standing in front of my wardrobe wondering what I could wear today. Why is there never enough in a wardrobe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple task of getting dressed should be easier, I knew. But I did not know how.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First attempt in making it less stressful: I started with deciding <strong>what to wear the next day<\/strong>, the night before, which made quite a positive difference. I make decisions quicker in the night then half asleep and rushed in the morning.  But I was not satisfied yet, it did not make enough of a difference.\u00a0I was not enjoying the process of choosing. I was sure it should be more fun having the luxury of the ability to choose what to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second attempt to dress with less stress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I kept thinking about this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the challenge of traveling with the least amount of luggage. Just for fun really. As a result I didn\u2019t have to check in luggage and wait at the other of the flight for my suitcase to turn up. It came a sport to travel with as little as possible and still be comfortable.&nbsp;I loved this new simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling with my minimal wardrobe made me realise that I had way more clothes at home than necessary and good for me. It can be so easy to choose what to wear. I always bring the clothes that are the most comfortable and I love to wear. I don\u2019t mind at all to wear them again and again, because I love everything I have in my suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time when I come back at home I am surprised that there are so many items in my wardrobe I did not miss, not even when I left home (and my extended wardrobe) for a year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get dressed like you do when you are on a holiday<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is getting dressed when you are on holiday so much easier, less stressful? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there are less choices\/ options. You love everything there is in your little suitcase wardrobe. It does not really matter what you are going to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there seemed too little in my wardrobe, years ago, it turned out I had <strong>too many choices<\/strong>. The actual opposite&#8230;I had too much in my wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organise your home wardrobe like when you are traveling<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get to a big enough, exciting smaller wardrobe you will love in 6 steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 Take <strong>everything<\/strong> out of your wardrobe, put on your bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 <strong>Sort<\/strong> in categories. ( all long sleeve t shirt together, all short sleeve etc. ) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 Now <strong>choose all your favourites of the current season<\/strong>, e.g. summer. Put them apart, sorted in their categories; short sleeve tops\/long sleeve tops\/ pants\/skirts\/&#8230;.etc..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 <strong>Imagine<\/strong> <strong>you are going to work and live somewhere else for two months.<\/strong>( You can\u2019t pretend you are packing for a holiday as you will need your working clothes. ) Make sure you can combine the pieces you choose. E.g. three tops that go with one pair of pants. <strong>Put the pieces that make your favourite combinations back in the wardrobe. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 <strong>Everything else, that you think you can live without the next two months, you put in the bags\/boxes\/bins, and store away.<\/strong> Store them far enough away to make it a hassle to get to it in them morning when you get ready to dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 Now <strong>test<\/strong> your smaller wardrobe the coming months. Adapt to your needs. If you put away too much, take out only the pieces out of storage you remembered\/missed. If you did not wear certain items you can store them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hetty.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/83449C28-1865-4A08-85EF-3D5D3632D84E-724x1024.png\" alt=\"Make a travel size wardrobe in 6 steps.
